Equipping anyone to unlock the abundant benefits of home ownership
Challenge
How can we leverage visual identity to make the home buying process feel more like home?
Context
Equip anyone to unlock the abundant benefits of home ownership
As OJO entered year six of their startup journey, they had a strong team, a handful of acquisitions, and a big goal to bring something new to the real estate industry.
But they found themselves at a crossroads, needing to make big business decisions around the brand, the product, and team, and were seeking a guiding compass.
We started by tackling tough strategic questions about the company: its name and equity, the influence and architecture of new acquisitions, and the foundations needed to move beyond home search and into the entire ownership journey.
Action
To unlock OJO’s next phase of growth we worked together to define their purpose, and then use that to build and launch an updated brand.
Deeply rooted in customer understanding, the new OJO purpose rallied the company around a unifying goal: “Equip anyone to unlock the abundant benefits of home ownership.”
From these foundations, we designed a new logo, brand identity, and tone of voice that conveys warmth, optimism, and empathetic support.
Our story platform “Make Moves” has also become the rallying concept that unifies action, messaging, and decision making throughout the company - stemming from their newly defined purpose.
